Report: Mom named baby daughter ‘Hashtag’

According to a Facebook post from last Saturday night—first spotted by The Daily Dot—a mother named her newborn daughter Hashtag, presumably after the word or statement attached to a tweet.

Here’s the Facebook update verbatim:

“Hashtag Jameson was born at 10 oclock last nite. She weys 8pounds and i luv her so much!!!!!!”

She’s a cute kid, but if her name is truly Hashtag, she may have to endure a childhood of ridicule—it’s sort of like a social media-era “A Boy Named Sue.”

As The Daily Dot noted, Hashtag isn’t the first example of a child named after social media. In February, an Egyptian man named his son Facebook to celebrate that nation’s revolution, which was fueled by platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
